There are three causes of hair loss: a genetic history of baldness, ageing and hormonal changes. The term is known as resurfacing. Bald areas of scalp are resurfaced with hair. Plugs of bald scalp are eliminated. They are then filled with plugs of scalp containing several hair roots.

These are taken from hair bearing areas.  Several operations may be needed. The number of grafts needed depends on the extent of the baldness. The length of treatment sessions also depends on the extent of baldness.

Medical Hair restoration experts carry out hair transplants in India and elsewhere. A low cost and cheap remedy for hair loss, hair treatment and hair transplant in India are found in the cities of Chennai, Mumbai, and Delhi but not to a large extent.

In countries like Australia, China, Hong Kong, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia good treatment facilities are provided but the cost is higher.

Hair transplants in India have not caught on as much as in the developed countries. In the developed west many more people go in for hair transplant than in developing countries like India. Many celebrities or those who are in the entertainment industry for purposes of enhancing their beauty and outlook go in for hair transplants in India.

Two drugs are available in the medicine market for the treatment of hair loss in males. They are Minoxidil and Finasteride. Both are quite effective in maintaining and sometimes regrowing hair lost due to androgenic alopecia.

They do not have any hair transplant surgeons though they have laser hair removal systems which are a highly mechanized form of treatment.
